Indonesia’s Health Minister has implicated the
U.S. government in an international conspiracy to develop the bird flu
virus into a deadly bio-weapon in a new book which is also endorsed
by Indonesia's President.

Indonesia has been worst hit by the bird flu virus,
with eleven people having died from contracting H5N1 this year.

"Indonesia’s uniquely virulent strain of
H5N1 gave the country "bargaining power" according to Indonesia’s
Health Minister Dr Siti Fadilah Supari, in her new book called "It’s
Time for the World to Change" and strangely subtitled "The
Divine Hand Behind Avian Influenza," reports
ABC News Australia.

In the book, Supari accuses the U.S. government
of seeking a monopoly on controlling the virus for two
reasons. Firstly to be able to dominate the vaccine
market and make vast profits from providing the cure
and secondly to potentially develop the strain into
a potent biological weapon.

These concerns led to Indonesia halting the sharing
of virus samples with the World Health Organization in late 2006 after
Supari accused the Australian government of stealing Indonesia’s
strain of H5N1 to make bird flu vaccines.

"I never, I never give permission to send sample
to the, send a specimen of the virus to Australia," said Supari.

Supari was also alarmed at the fact that the WHO shared
samples with the United States national laboratory in Los Alamos, New
Mexico, where nuclear weapons are developed.

"Whether they use is it to make vaccine or develop
chemical weapons, would depend on the need and interest of the US Government.
It is indeed a very dangerous situation for the destiny of humanity",
she writes and goes on to say ".. it is a matter of choice whether
to use the material for vaccines or biological weapon development,"
said Supari.

President Bush has publicly stated his intention to
use the military to impose quarantine zones and martial law in the event
of a bird flu outbreak in America.

During
an October 2005 White House press conference, Bush stated, "If
we had an outbreak somewhere in the United States, do we not then quarantine
that part of the country, and how do you then enforce a quarantine?
When -- it's one thing to shut down airplanes; it's another thing to
prevent people from coming in to get exposed to the avian flu. And who
best to be able to effect a quarantine? One option is the use of a military
that's able to plan and move."

As Fortune
Magazine reported in November 2005, the Bird Flu scare has reaped
profits primarily for vaccine companies such as Tamiflu, major beneficiaries
of which include former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and former
Secretary of State George Shultz.

"As the bird-flu issue heated up earlier this
year (2005), according to a senior Pentagon official, Rumsfeld considered
unloading his entire Gilead stake to avoid any perceived conflict of
interest. He sought the advice of the Department of Justice, the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and the federal Office of Government Ethics.
When those agencies didn't offer an opinion, Rumsfeld consulted a private
securities lawyer, who advised him to hold on to the stock and be vocal
about his earlier recusal from all matters involving Gilead, rather
than sell and run the risk of being accused of insider trading. Holding
on has paid off—it's made the Pentagon chief, already one of the
wealthiest members of the Bush cabinet, at least $1 million richer.
In late October, Rumsfeld had the Pentagon's general counsel issue instructions
on what he could and could not do in the event of an epidemic,"
according to the report.
